I agree Steven Pinker isn't someone worth reading. I'm unaware that they have ever claimed it was a serious scientific work, I thought they were the first to admit that it was complete rubbish. It was the journal Gender, Place, and Culture who recognised their paper about canine rape culture in...

I don't know much about schizophrenia. My first thought was what it must be like for his son to hear that. It may be a perfectly reasonable opinion to have, and even to express privately, or after the son has died (which apparently he hasn't yet), but according to the linked tweets (if you click...

He seems to be completely oblivious to the prejudices those with mental health issues can face from within their own family: I don't mind him taking a pot-shot at Linus Pauling though, as I have had to listen to that vitamin C nonsense from well-meaning (I think) former friends when...

Splendid article.

Thanks!

Beat me to it. I shall retire to my sofa with a glass of sherry.

Where did you see the video? I'd like to watch it.

AfME setting itself a new year's resolution to "inspire" is presumptious to say the least. The only things they inspired last year were a sense of bafflement and frustration. I notice that in their "working with" resolutions, other national / international support groups are not mentioned. Their...

I mis-read that as That's why gratitude features heavily in Santa's happiness class :emoji_santa: Of course that had to come - practising gratitude is good for you, and if it isn't, you're doing it wrong, ie too much, or too little, or in the wrong circumstances. What we need are trained...

It's a spoof, just postmodernist text generated at random every time you load the webpage. Indistinguishable from the real thing though. If anything can be said to be real.

This is the kind of stuff: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ I started reading up on it and got as far as Derrida before deciding my time could be better spent not bothering.

I haven't seen it myself, but I would imagine it involves a pack of animals viciously slinging shit about.

I came across Boghossian a couple of weeks ago. The parallel course to my presentations course at a local university is Cultural Studies, which I actually foolishly assumed was the study of different cultures. I've recently discovered that it's a marxist post-structuralist post-modernist blah...

Surely we've got enough models from the top of these stories for an ME Girls Calendar 2019 now? One symptom of ME which seems to have been overlooked so far is that it makes models collapse back into bed after their exhausting morning beauty routine, raising their hands to their fully made-up...

CBT to reduce stress? So why retweet?

It also implies that it was perfectly reasonable not to believe us until now, as this is the first evidence blah blah

Because they have more time to devote to politics than people who are busy getting on with something useful?

Feigning self-deprecation is just something he does every now and again.

We'll be lucky if it's just that. The other possibility is that it's the prelude to something very unpleasant. Thanks, I'll quote that next time someone thinks they're helping by telling me to have a "mind like water".
